Deposit returns, made easy
StatieDelen is the Dutch marketplace for deposit empties. List your empty bottles and cans online and have them collected at your door — or collect them yourself and earn the deposit.

Two sides, one app: one person wants the bag gone, the other is happy to make the trip.
For anyone who wants the bag gone
Create a listing in under a minute: photo, rough count, asking price — or give it away for free.
Collectors nearby see your listing and make an offer. You choose who gets to come.
The collector confirms with a one-time pickup code. You settle on the spot — cash or your own payment link.
For anyone who wants to earn on the side
Scroll the map or the list, and filter for free bags if you like.
If you’re chosen, agree on a time. Confirm the handover with the code in the app.
The return-point map guides you to machines and shops nearby. The deposit is yours.
In the Netherlands nearly all plastic bottles and cans carry a deposit (statiegeld). This is what each one returns:
Look for the statiegeld logo on the label to recognise deposit packaging.
Find machines and shops near you where you can return packaging for the deposit.
Locations are rounded to about 100 metres until a pickup is booked, and every handover is confirmed with a one-time code.
You settle directly with each other — cash or your own payment link. StatieDelen never touches your money and never asks for payment details.
Deposit packaging is recycled at high quality. Whatever gets collected doesn’t end up in the street or in general waste.
Nothing. The app is free for sellers and collectors alike — no subscription, no commission.
Directly from the other person, at handover — in cash or via a payment request such as Tikkie. No payments flow through StatieDelen.
No. On the map your location is rounded to roughly 100 metres. Only once you confirm a pickup do you share the exact address.
Plastic bottles (€ 0.15 or € 0.25), cans (€ 0.15) and glass beer bottles (€ 0.10). You can recognise them by the statiegeld logo on the label.
StatieDelen is currently in closed beta. The app is coming to the App Store and Google Play soon — keep an eye on this page.
An estimate is fine. Your listing describes roughly what’s in the bag; the asking price is a guide price that collectors bid on.
StatieDelen is coming to the App Store and Google Play soon. The beta is already running — in Dutch and English from day one.
